Thanks everybody. > There was a change to the way the rc files are read, I believe around > 4.1. Check that you have "source_rc_confs" in rc, rc.devfs, rc.diskless2, > rc.firewall, rc.shutdown and in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. If not, you > have old versions of these files and the system will appear to be > ignoring config changes. Just a thought.. > > -Jim Durham Thanks Jim and Mike: Fixed 50% of my problems: after reading your posts, I thought maybe looking at the source would help, indeed it did. I ran diff /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf with the /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and discovered [duh!] that most of my important settings had been hosed in the merge differences operation. Then, gradually, tonight, I refreshed all my rc.* files. My console still doesn't have permissions [Mike: even when run as root] but I expect this will reveal itself soon.
